Among the Romance languages, its classification has always been controversial, for example, it is one of the [[w:Italo-Dalmatian languages|Italo-Dalmatian languages]] and most closely related to [[w:Istriot language|Istriot]] on the one hand and [[w:Tuscan dialect|Tuscan-Italian]] on the other. Some authors include it among the [[w:Gallo-Italic languages|Gallo-Italic languages]], and according to others, it is not related to either one. Although both [[w:Ethnologue|Ethnologue]] and [[w:Glottolog|Glottolog]] group Luthic into a new language group, the Gotho-Romance (''opere citato'') family. | Among the Romance languages, its classification has always been controversial, for example, it is one of the [[w:Italo-Dalmatian languages|Italo-Dalmatian languages]] and most closely related to [[w:Istriot language|Istriot]] on the one hand and [[w:Tuscan dialect|Tuscan-Italian]] on the other.

Although the language region is surrounded by [[w:Gallo-Italic languages|Gallo-Italic languages]], Luthic does not share some traits with these immediate neighbours. Some traits are further afield in [[w:Rhaeto-Romance languages|Rhaeto-Romance languages]]. Modern Luthic is not a close relative of the extinct [[w:East Germanic languages|East Germanic languages]], but some may still classify it as an East Germanic language, which is highly debated and enjoys the least academic favour. | Although the language region is surrounded by [[w:Gallo-Italic languages|Gallo-Italic languages]], Luthic does not share some traits with these immediate neighbours.
